Oscan

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *fengwā, from earlier *dΚ°nΜ₯gwā, a metathesised form of pre-Proto-Italic *dnΜ₯gΚ°wā (the latter whence Proto-Italic *denΙ£wā),[1] from Proto-Indo-European *dnΜ₯Η΅Κ°wΓ©hβ‚‚s.

Buck states that in Oscan the Proto-Italic first-declension nominative singular ending *-ā underwent final rounding to [ɔː] and is written as ΓΊ ⟨𐌞⟩, which denotes /o/, more rarely as u βŸ¨πŒ–βŸ©.[2]

Cognate with Latin lingua.
